Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate whether catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy for first-time acute deep vein thrombosis of the iliofemoral veins may (1) increase patency rate of affected veins at 6 months and (2) reduce the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome at 2 years ;Secondary Objective: 1 To investigate frequency of clinically relevant bleeding related to the procedure. 2 To investigate effects on quality of life (QoL). 3 To investigate cost-effectiveness of treatment. 4 To investigate the procedural success of catheter directed thrombolysis. 5 To identify markers of importance for successful thrombolysis. 6 To investigate patency at 2 years. 7 To investigate post-thrombotic syndrome at 6, 12, 36, 48, and 60 m. 8 To investigate whether presence or absence of post-thrombotic syndrome at any time point is related to patency at end of treatment. 9 To investigate prevalence of vein anomalies (and need for angioplasty or stents). 10 To investigate prevalence of underlying thrombophilia. 11 To investigate frequency of recurrent venous thromboembolism during follow-up. 12 To identify markers of importance for recurrent thrombosis. ;Primary end point(s): Patency of affected vein(s) after 6 months and frequency of post-thrombotic syndrome after 2 years.
